    And why is it hard to believe?  

    The fact that they have released absolutely nothing lately? (as far as I know at least)

    Plus, the best product out there are as a result of competition. So competition wouldn't be too bad for the community : )

    Excatly.

    Don't presume to know what everyone else think about the game and especially not when you present such an incredibly juvenile statement as the game being far from complete.

    That is simply my opinion. I dont presume anything. However, the general consensus on the forums seems to be that ArmA will eventually be improved way beyond it's original form just like OFP.

    Far from complete would mean that the game can't even be half finished. If a game is half done, then it is not far from complete.

    As far as games go ArmA is a bit of an abortion, ive seen worse but ive seen better as well. It's no söldner thankfully enough.

    You seem to taking this a bit too personal, eh? wink_o.gif

    I noticed this little problem while making my first non-test mission for arma:

    For some unknown reason when the mission ends ArmA shows only the title of the ending texts defined in the briefing.html.

    Example:

    Quote[/b] ]

    <!-- End #1 -->

    <h2><a name="debriefing:end1"></a><br>

    <!-- [TITLE_1] -->

    Mission successful!

    <!-- [END] -->

    </h2><br><p>

    <!-- [TEXT_1] -->

    A severe blow has been dealt to the plans of the traitors and the imperialist by heroes of the motherland!

    <!-- [END] -->

    </p><br><hr>

    Yet only the Mission successful! part is seen when the mission ends and the the "Severe blow blah blah blah" is missing. sad_o.gif

    Introducing.. EiZei's ArmA-o-meter

    As you know ArmA is far from complete so rather than keep posting the same stuff everybody says on hundred different threads I have decided to include an up-to-date mini-review of Armed Assault in my signature, which (hopefully) shall become more positive as patches, addons and other neat stuff starts to roll in. Eventually I hope to replace the warning level bar with a small picture of Ondrej's rocked hair. yay.gif

    Controversial US envoy quits post

    The controversial US ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, is to leave his post, the White House says.

    Mr Bolton looked unable to win the necessary Senate support for him to continue in the job, which he had obtained on a temporary basis.

    Critics have questioned factors including his abrasive style at the UN.

    Mr Bolton's move comes after US defence chief Donald Rumsfeld resigned following the Republican defeat in last month's mid-term elections.

    I completely fail to see why you would think that an American institution dedicated to advancing American traditions and American national defense policy would give you any kind of insight into a country which it hasn't even had any diplomatic relations with for 30 years, and whose leaders describe it as an evil and enemy state.

    What could they possibly know about the place?

    Id say they know quite a bit considering all the messing around with it they have done. wink_o.gif

    Why would you prefer that sort of an opinion to ones given by the people who actually live there?

    I know I don't.

    If you think goverment-approved sources are the best way to get critical information on a country.. crazy_o.gif

    Iran has a democratically elected government therefore it is a real democracy.

    Hence the name "Republic of Iran".

    I also believe they called Pol Pot's cambodia the "Democratic Cambodia", north Korea the "People's republic of Korea" and of course every fucked up african state likes to put the word democratic and republic in their name.

    Quote[/b] ]

    Amnesty complains about the unjust imprisonment of conscientious objectors in Finland, a charge it also lays against Iran.

    To put things into perspective, the Amnesty site has:

    10 pages of reports on Iran. (pop 68 million)

    10 pages of reports on the U.K. (pop 60 million)

    50 pages of reports on the U.S.A. (pop 300 million)

    and 1 page on Finland (pop 5 million)

    Closer to Iran's region, Amnesty has:

    10 pages on Isreal. (pop 6 million)

    7 pages on Saudi Arabia (pop 23 million)

    9 pages on Afghanistan (pop 30 million)

    10 pages on Iraq (pop 26 million)

    4 pages on Turkmenistan (pop 5 million)

    7 pages on Uzbekistan (pop 28 million)

    This is about the equivalent of calling somebody with 8 speeding tickets worse than somebody who was convicted of 7 murders.

    Quote[/b] ]

    The size of Iran's Amnesty record per capita has more in common with a western country than it does of a Middle Eastern one. It is an extremely liberal and progressive society.

    It clearly stands out from the rest as a beacon of democracy in the region.

    If your idea of progressive society is something where under 18-year-old boys can get strung up for gay sex I dont want to know what you consider regressive. crazy_o.gif

    Name me one country Ammnesty International doesn't have a pretty long rap sheet on.

    I don't know what country you are from, but as a control group, it might be intresting to see how much they have written about your own country. I know how much they have written about mine.

    Finland, they complain about the lenght of our alternative to mandatory military service and.. that's about it.

    Quote[/b] ]

    I think perhaps you should be looking for sources inside Iran, rather than from an enemy nation on the otherside of the world if you wish to get a better picture.

    Youre joking right?

    Quote[/b] ]

    In terms of it's librality, try comparing it to many of the surrounding countries and you may perhaps re-evaluate your position. Uzbekistan, Turkministan, Khazakstan, the former governments of Iraq and Afghanistan, Saddam and the Taliban, Saudi Arabia....

    I dont think I have called those countries more free than Iran. My point merely is that Iran is not a real democracy.

    Quote[/b] ]

    To Buff.

    The President of Iran is Allahs deputy on earth until the 12th Imam comes on the doomsday. He can whenever he wishes stop laws the parlament has decided about, and he is both head of state and chief of the government.

    Hows that for democratic?

    He is.. the decider. yay.gif

    I'm wondering whether this PC can make ARMA REALLY fly. I mean, set everything to "very high" and distance to 5000m (2500m is also OK)  with a fps of about 100.

    CPU: AMD Athlon FX-57

    GPU: 8800GTX (*2, if necessary)

    RAM: 4G

    OS  : Vista

    How about your ideal PCs to play ARMA? smile_o.gif

    FX-57 is an overpriced piece of crap and I don't see how vista could make it run faster. wink_o.gif

    Iran has received pretty much the worst possible ratings from freedom house, reporters without borders and heritage foundation in the areas of civil and political liberties, press freedom and economical freedom. On top of that amnesty international has a pretty long rap sheet on them.

    I think it would be fair to say that today's Iran does not qualify even as an illiberal democracy, much less as a liberal one.

    Anyway the only meaningful contributions to the US led coalition were made by the UK. Money and troops, that's all that counts and in the invasion only the US and the UK provided that in meaningful quantities.

    Well.. im sure Kuwait allowing the US to use their country as a staging area for their attack was pretty valuable too. tounge2.gif

    X2 5200+ is horribly overpriced and simply doesnt perform.

    Alright these are my other options:

    All of the following are AMD Athlon 64s.

    FX 62 Dual-Core w/ Hypertransport Tech [+$366]

    x2 5200+ Dual-Core CPU w/ Hypertransport Tech [present]

    x2 5000+ Dual-Core CPU w/ Hypertransport Tech [-$180]

    x2 4600+ Dual-Core CPU w/ Hypertransport Tech [-$154]

    x2 4200+ Dual-Core CPU w/ Hypertransport Tech [-$210]

    x2 3800+ Dual-Core CPU w/ Hypertransport Tech [-$240]

    3800+ CPU w/ Hypertransport Tech [-$284]

    3500+ CPU w/ Hypertransport Tech [-$300]

    Frankly, id get Intel's E6600, it just blows AMD's products away at the moment.

    Keep in mind its purpose. If none of those are good can you recommend something, preferably specific. Also I don't really get what you mean by unbalanced on the other thing. Sorry I am kind of an idiot as far as hardware goes.

    By unbalanced I mean your graphics adapter is way too cheap and slow compared to rest of your hardware, no fun getting a 2000 USD computer just to realize it wont run arma on medium. wink_o.gif

    ll the people in Iraq capable of running a government have been barred from standing. (It seems no one learned any of the lessons from the de-Nazification of Germany and the resultant back-pedalling from that position when Germany instantly dissolved into anarchy).

    Not that there can be that much backpedalling anymore, lot of the more educated and richer iraqis just ran when they realized they lost their livelihoods and became kidnapper and militia magnets.

    EXCLUSIVE: Iranian Weapons Arm Iraqi Militia

    Hezbollah Training Also Linked to Iraq Violence

    By JONATHAN KARL AND MARTIN CLANCY

    WASHINGTON, Nov. 30, 2006 — U.S. officials say they have found smoking-gun evidence of Iranian support for terrorists in Iraq: brand-new weapons fresh from Iranian factories. According to a senior defense official, coalition forces have recently seized Iranian-made weapons and munitions that bear manufacturing dates in 2006.

    This suggests, say the sources, that the material is going directly from Iranian factories to Shia militias, rather than taking a roundabout path through the black market. "There is no way this could be done without (Iranian) government approval," says a senior official.

    Iranian-made munitions found in Iraq include advanced IEDs designed to pierce armor and anti-tank weapons. U.S. intelligence believes the weapons have been supplied to Iraq's growing Shia militias from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, which is also believed to be training Iraqi militia fighters in Iran.

    But how do you defend yourself from a nuke?

    Uhh.. you drop it either on the invading army or the invader's biggest cities? tounge2.gif

    You drop what on the invading army or the invader's biggest cities? I asked how you defend yourself from a nuke, not how you use one. wink_o.gif
